[Emc-users] Overriding the feedfate override

As described earlier, I have a probe I used to set the Z after changing tools. The Probe Z button calls an MDI which calls a .ngc g-code file which uses the G38 probe routine. What I realized is the Feedrate Override mucks with the probe cycle. The probe cycle needs to operate at a
